Gifu (prefecture) Halal Travel Guide

The self-proclaimed "Heart of Japan" and the prefecture was once two separate provinces; Hida Province in the north and Mino Province in the south. The defining feature of Hida Province is the northern stretch of the Japan Alps, making it a prime destination for three popular Japanese pastimes: hiking, skiing and thermal spas (Muslim Friendly). The elevation of the western mountains combined with its shared weather patterns with the coastal Hokuriku Region means the area gets a lot of sin the wintertime. While snow can make things difficult for residents, it is quite appealing to those in Kansai and the Tokai region where snow is common.

The former Mino Province in the southern part of the prefecture is home to many former castles and historic sites. The Nakasendo trail cuts through the entire region from on its way from Nagano (prefecture) | Nagano to Shiga, leaving many preserved buildings and historic sites scattered around the former post towns.
